It's been a busy few days.. we got into Chicago late (we always seem to be late..) and had to drop people off at various locations where friends (Angie V., Christine P.!) again kindly let us crash with them.

Peggy and Betty had a lovely adventure finding secure parking for our tour van in downtown Chicago. We stayed at a hotel, generously provided by our awesome friend Jake who felt guilty that he had promised us a place to stay but had moved out of his place a few weeks prior. Thanks Jake! You're the best.

The next day was hitting the street to promote the show. For dinner, we ate deep dish pizza from Lou Malnati's. Later that night, we joined friends at Piece and then somehow ended up at Wingstop. There, Betty charmed the manager into hanging a poster and giving out a download card with every order. The manager also gave us free wings. You rock, Wingstop manager.

It looks like stormy weather is following us -- Chicago was rainy and cold the entire time. Despite that, it was a fun experience and we all got to see old friends.

Love in October closed out the Chicago show and were awesome. Thanks so much for playing! I was totally jealous of their professional setup. They also cleverly use a rope light to illuminate all of their merch and now I harass Peggy daily to get me one.

The Kinetic Playground is amazing on the inside. They had a great stage and an awesome sound and light system. The videos I got from this show sound and look amazing.

I'll put Buffalo in it's own entry -- there was so much in Buffalo despite the short time we were there.
